General

The crown jewel of Lewitt's Authentica line, the LCT 940 large-diaphragm condenser microphone, has revolutionised the modern recording process by offering nine directional characteristics for maximum flexibility. Because this mic combines the characteristics of both tube and FET technology, you can use it for virtually every imaginable situation. Choose between the 'FET' mode or the 'Tube' mode with a separated signal path, ensuring discrete, independent operation. Lewitt's LCT 940 was nominated for the NAMM TEC Award in 2013, and voted 'Editor's Choice' of Electronic Musician magazine.

LCT 940 large-diaphragm tube condenser microphone

The Lewitt LCT 940 microphone has two different modes: 'Tube' and 'FET' The 'Tube' mode delivers a classic, warm, rich tube sound, while the 'FET' mode offers the sparkling, clear, full sound Lewitt mics are known for. What's more, this microphone features the unique option to blend both modes, creating even more possibilities for studio professionals. Most importantly, though, the LCT 940 boasts nine directional characteristics in total: omnidirectional, cardioid, figure 8, broad cardioid, supercardioid, and four additional so-called 'in between' characteristics. Additionally, it features four attenuation levels, four adjustable high-pass filters, an LED indicator and noiseless buttons; and to complete its long list of benefits, automatic attenuation and protection against clipping.

The brand Lewitt

The Vienna-based microphone company Lewitt stands for high-quality mics, designed to reproduce an authentic, pure sound and memorable recordings. Their microphones comply with the highest standards of audio professionals who expect unsurpassed audio performance in both live and studio applications.

Lewitt LCT 940 Large-Diaphragm Valve Microphone
Wrote the following about Lewitt LCT 940 Large-Diaphragm Valve Microphone
Ik hou gewoon van deze microfoon. De hoge kwaliteit van de constructie ging gepaard met de hoge kwaliteit van het geluid. Alles waar we het op gebruikten, klonk goed, vooral de zang, en ik denk dat de LCT 940 hier de meeste fans zal vinden. Hij is in alles goed, maar blinkt uit als zangmicrofoon.

Op een gitaar-cab pakte de FET-modus soepel een semi-akoestische jazz op zonder de klank van de gitaar in de weg te staan, en de buizenmodus rondde een overdreven scherp Telecaster-geluid perfect af.

Super tevreden mee!! Top product :)
